Right now i'm working on dream recall. Does everybody lay in complete silence? the reason i ask is because it is extremely difficult for me to sleep without the aid of music. i was just wondering if something like music can effect LD.

last night was my first attempt with a dream journal. i avoided letting my mind wonder(as this site says) and focused on telling myself that remembering this dream was important but every time i focused on LD i got too excited and could not sleep.
